Rebirth: Lie down with the system

"You said before that we have to take a boat if we want to go in? Is there a sea here?"

Duan Yu remembered what Murong Li said and turned to ask him.

Hearing him say the word "we", Murong Li's mouth corners slightly raised, and he grabbed his hand and wiped the dirt off Duan Yu's hands very naturally.

"Yes, they went in further and found some dilapidated wooden boats piled on a piece of sand and gravel. They speculated that there used to be a river there, but it is now dry. There was little rain before, and the river couldn't float the boats, so they didn't find anything. Recently, the rainy season came and the water level of the river rose, and then they found some clues."

Duan Yu felt a little uncomfortable with his hand being held by him. He struggled for a while but Murong Li held his wrist more tightly.

Duan Yu felt a pain and decisively gave up struggling with him, focusing his attention on his words.

“So it’s only after the water level rises that we can find the hidden road by boat.”

Duan Yu looked as if he had guessed it a long time ago and felt that he was very smart.

But he didn't know that in Murong Li's eyes, he looked silly and cute, especially his clear eyes, which looked silly and cute at the moment, and more lively than his usual calmness.

"Yes and no."

Letting go of Duan Yu's hand, Murong Li said again.

"Although the water level has risen to allow boats to float, it is just a trick. The real road is actually a different world."

Duan Yu looked excited. He felt like an explorer who was about to explore a new continent. He was very excited.

"Come on, let's go in quickly. The rainy season is only a few days away. Don't miss the best opportunity!"

Murong Li's men were reliable. When they reached the river, a masked man in black came forward, bowed to Murong Li, and handed him a parchment scroll with both hands.

As for Duan Yu who was standing aside, that person didn't even look at him, as if he was transparent.

Duan Yu didn't care about it at all.

He had been trained long ago. The driver before was just like that. He now only regarded Murong Li's men as emotionless robots and could not treat them as normal people at all.

They were all wrapped in black clothes, and those whose faces were visible had gloomy faces. They all exuded an unpleasant smell, which made him have no intention of approaching them.

Approaching Murong Li, Duan Yu secretly glanced at the parchment scroll, and when he looked up, he found that Murong Li did not seem to want to hide anything, so he moved closer and looked at the parchment scroll in Murong Li's hand openly.

At first glance, the parchment scroll did not look like an antique. The leather was still new, and except for some creases, there was no sign of aging at all.

There were only a few words on it, and the rest was filled with drawings of the terrain of the area. From the terrain point of view, Duan Yu couldn't see anything special about it.

He looked at Murong Li in confusion.

"Where is the entrance? I don't understand..."

Murong Li looked at him lovingly, put the parchment scroll into his arms and said.

"This isn't a map for getting in. It's just the topography of this area. If the entrance was that easy to find, it would have been occupied long ago and they wouldn't have waited for us."

Yes, if he had a treasure, he would hide it in a secret place and set up many traps to prevent it from being stolen.

"So what clues did you find?"

Why is this person so annoying? He’s been keeping us in suspense all the time!

Duan Yu unconsciously curled his lips to express his dissatisfaction.

Looking at his little expression, a hint of heat burned in Murong Li's eyes.

The person in front of me has no self-awareness at all. His pouting look is seen by others as an invitation!

Or, he is just an unimportant person in his heart... or he doesn't care about his feelings at all...

Thinking of this, the heat in Murong Li's eyes turned dark.

Looking at those lips as red as rose petals, he pulled the person closer, locked his arm tightly around the person's waist, and trapped the person in his arms. He was so strong that he just wanted to melt the person into his bones and blood.

Murong Li's sudden drag caught Duan Yu completely off guard and he crashed into his hard shoulders and chest, feeling a sharp pain.

Before he could recover and before he could ask any questions, Murong Li had already grasped his jaw and tilted his head back.

A hot and powerful breath suddenly came over me.

When Duan Yu realized what was happening, his pupils contracted, and he began to resist by supporting Murong Li with his hands, and pushed his head back hard.

But all his resistance was in vain.

Under Murong Li's deep kiss, he put one hand behind Duan Yu's head to block his retreat, and put the other hand on Duan Yu's waist to lock him tightly in his arms.

Duan Yu felt dizzy and his consciousness began to blur.

He felt like a very long time had passed, so long that when he was released, his tongue was numb and his legs were weak...

When he fully woke up, he had already been carried by Murong Li onto a wooden boat, and a man in black was rowing at the stern.

The wind gently blew across his face, relieving the burning pain on his lips.

Thinking of what had just happened, Duan Yu suddenly sat up from Murong Li's arms with a dark face.

"What did I do wrong?"

He tried his best to avoid physical contact with him along the way, for fear of irritating this person.

Thinking back on the previous conversation, he didn't feel like he had said anything wrong, nor did he do anything ambiguous. So how did he irritate this person?

His question was met with silence.

Regardless of whether Duan Yu was willing or not, the close reliance on each other had greatly eased Murong Li's inner depression.

Having gotten his catharsis vented, Murong Li was in a much better mood now, and he had no further reaction to Duan Yu's move away from him with a look of disgust on his face.

Anyway, this person is right next to him, he can't escape anywhere...

Duan Yu cursed Murong Li countless times in his heart, and ran to the bow of the boat and sat there sulking.

He couldn't beat the enemy, and he couldn't run away either, so he could only bear the loss.

He can't kiss back!

His mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but as the water rippled, his heart finally calmed down.

Only then did he realize that the surrounding scenery was a wind-eroded forest, a peculiar Yadan landform.

Generally, this type of landform is due to geological changes over billions of years. The exposed tertiary strata that were uplifted by folds and broken by fractures have, under the long-term action of external forces, eroded part of the surface material to form a variety of residual hills and trough-shaped lowlands. Later, due to mountain torrents, the river changed its course and submerged the area, thus forming the water Yadan landform.

If there is no water, it will be all wind-eroded forest, just like a ghost town, which makes it easy to get lost.

Before he knew it, the dense forest had long disappeared. The sun was now shining brightly on Duan Yu, and with the cool breeze blowing, he didn't feel the heat at all.

Beautiful scenery always makes people feel relaxed and happy, and he forgot his previous troubles.

The Yadan landforms along the way are distributed among large and small strange landforms. The wide wind-eroded depressions are like the streets and alleys deep in the Peach Blossom Land, appearing deep and quiet.

The shapes are also different, like walls, forts, villages, pillars, people, animals, objects...

Later, under the leadership of Murong Li, they abandoned the ship and climbed onto the tallest wind-eroded tower.

Looking around, the entire Yadan landform appeared intact before their eyes.
